About

Our research is focused on understanding the biological events involved in the inflammatory response to gluten in people with coeliac disease and gluten-related disorders. We employ a range of immunological techniques to study this response and collaborate with scientists in the fields of cereal science, structural biology, protein chemistry, microbiome and omics technologies, as well as clinicians and public health specialists. We work closely with industry partners to ensure our research can be translated to the clinic, and the involvement of the national patient association organisation Coeliac Australia helps keep our goals relevant to the needs of people with coeliac disease.
